excuse me sir i have a few questions. can you hand check harden? can you breathe on him? does he shoot 10+ ft a game? is this a defensive friendly league? just curious. thanks a lot in advance


Excuse me sir, did Jordan have to deal with zone defenses or big men able to float in the paint and defend the rim the same way guys defend it now? No he didn't, because you weren't allowed to defend an "area" back them and had to defend your man. Any sort of zone defense or anything relating it was illegal then.

Speaking of free throws, you do realize Jordan averaged like 12 free throw attempts the season that he averaged 37 PPG, right? More than Harden averaged this past season πŸ˜‚ Jordan also had to take a lot more shots as well, he was a volume scorer when he dropped 35+

Cracks me up how Jordan's brand has brainwashed people into thinking he was hands down the GOAT in every area. Saying Harden is a better scorer is far from a reach, and every statistic you can throw out there backs up Harden. We all know Jordan was a far better player overall, but statistically as a scorer Harden makes his case. All people can say is "oh well Jordan got hand checked" lol well he also played with a lot slower and softer white dudes too and defenses had to play differently forced to defend their man and couldn't play anything resembling a zone.

Also I dont believe Embiid is better than Shaq, I said he is more versatile...which he is.

Can he be better one day? Absolutely. But Shaq was the most dominant low post scorer of all time. He was useless outside of the paint and couldnt defend the perimeter or p&r to save his life but he was so dominant in the post.

you're funny. laimbeer was anything but soft and he could handle any current nba player while making them try to swing at him out of frustration. there were elite defensive players like GP, rodman, barkley, isiah, alonzo, moncrief pre injury, mutumbo, shaq.. those guys would dominate in this weak defensive minded league

i see mj stylin on folks and breaking defenders down. 5 defenders in the paint and he still finishes. you need to stop it with this harden is better shit

Shaq had kobe wade in their primes with hof teams, if shaq went to guard the three point line, that would mean his team sucks like philly.
Also if he went out to guard the 3, it would scare everyone because he was so big.

I didn’t think it was a big deal what he said either because it was just simply the truth lol. Jordan can’t shoot 3s like Harden. The end.

Imagine if Harden had defense like MJ to go along with it tho?! Jesus Christ, the 🐐
